In the wake of the attacks in Paris, Internet guru Martha Lane Fox and retired Major General Tim Cross' views on how far governments go to get the balance between national security and personal privacy right are expressed. Among other things, Fox tells that when it comes to balancing national security and personal privacy, she believe that people's personal data should be their personal data, and that action should be taken based on a case that can be proven, as opposed to looking at everyone in society's movements and then targeting those who stand out. Furthermore, Cross thinks that monitoring cyberspace now forms a key part of any government responsibilities, and is (or should be) included in any national security strategy.
